This subject has been quite insightful. I thought it would be something complete different with just history of the internet, where it came from etc. But it has been very interesting and interactive. The topics that stuck out for me were things such as, internet socialising and 3D worlds and actually having to witness them yourself and interact was quite new to me. As well as learning about consumption and production, where everyday, normal people can create digital media such as fan videos and trailers. More over, I enjoyed learning about creative commons, which helps people use and share media over the web, without breaking copyright rules.

Making the short video clips was interesting too, which just shows that amateurs can make decent videos, simply, easily and quickly. The tutorial tasks were also very interactive and interesting and just show that people can interact with anything and anyone over the net, by signing e petitions, contacting members of parliament etc. 

New communications technologies is something everyone should learn about because the internet and technology plays a huge part in todays society and that we all need to be in the know about what is happening in the ever changing web. New communications technologies is eye opening in knowing how much we depend on technology and how technology enhancement is changing how we live and the world around us.
